"We wanted to
communicate the care, joy and welcome that modern parents have for their
newborns through the Ovum," says designer Heidi Newell. The Offi Ovum is a
bassinet inspired by Shaker furniture tradition, modern design, and the
needs of a new born baby and its parents. A baby never ceases to be the
focus of the design, while parents are offered options for portability, and
a rocking or standing base. The basket allows visibility of the baby from
any angle in the room, fulfilling a need for parent's verification that a
baby is sleeping well while they work about the house. This tasteful design
works in any room, has great economy for small spaces and enables parents to
keep a baby nearby without disturbing their sleep.
